Well, I didnt get the job, but im kinda over it, would have been a struggle at the end of the 12 mths, so probably a good thing.
Now im getting a cold. Have had a sore throat for 3 days, since Friday morning, its now sunday night and still sore :(.
Whinge over.
Stephens word of the day, Athletition, used when watching the olympics. Roughly translated = Athlete

Ok, I have an interview in just under 2 hrs and I am STRESSING!!! The Library assistant job that I got rejected for, well they wanted to re submit my resume for a 12 mth maternity position in Children and Youth services. I have a 30 min ‘exercise’ and a 30 min panel interview at 2.30pm. I now just need to prettify myself and have a look oln their website, get used to their cagtalogues and search system thingo (hmm REAL technical, going great already)
Anyway wish me luck, hopefully will all go ok and I will be posting in a few days saying I have another job. Will let you know how I went when I get home, if I’m not too devistated LOL.

Well, I am starting my second week back at uni after taking last semester off to get married and go on my honeymoon. It feels strange to be studying again, and second week in and I am already a week behind in one subject. My text books for one subject, that I ordered 4 weeks ago for one subject still haven’t arrived. LUCKILY my sis is a student at the local uni, so I have the book on hold for her to pick up for me, well the edition 3 years before the one that I need. Hopefully cognitive psychology hasn’t changed too much in 3 years.
Not much else has been happening in my world. Pepper got desexed on Friday, but you would not know it, he was back to himself by Friday night, so that’s a good thing, but the dog up the back that barks EVERY morning has taught pepper to now bark EVERY morning. He is my new alarm clock!
I got a call back this morning about the Library position that I applied for a few months ago and was unsuccessful in getting, they have a 12mth maternity position that has just come up and wanted to know if I wanted to reapply…..ummmm YES, it’s a government job, so when you get your foot in the door, it opens up so many more opportunities, added to that they have better sick leave, holiday, and as Stephen pointed out maternity benefits. Fingers crossed.

Well, I will be out of action at home for a few days, HOPEFULLY not too long, Stephen managed to spill Red Wine on my laptop (and boy is he copping it, as far as I see it, I have asked him to at least wait till I get home before he starts drinking, to cut down on his drinking, WHY didnt he tell me he spilt it, instead of letting me discover it at 10.30 last night, why didnt he check to make sure he got it off, and why didnt he make sure it worked)? He is well and truely in the dog house. Uni starts back next week and I need internet access every day, work is no good cos I need to minimise everything, and his laptop doesn’t get internet access.
Unfortunatley Xilo didn’t work out, by the time I got home he would pin Pepper down and bite his neck, also he was inside except to go to the toilet, and barked if he was outside for longer than 5 mins, there is no way he would last all day while we are at work, and the layer of fur that was shed is still EVERYWHERE!
Work is still flat out, and add to that we have the CEO and all head office staff here today YAY

YAY we got approved for a 2 week trial with Xilo, I have yet to meet him, Stephen picked him up this morning. Apparently Pepper is following him everywhere and they are getting along with best friends.
I will post some more when I meet him. In the meantime, here is a pic mum took on her phone this arvo. Pepper is the Chocolate, SLIGHTLY smaller boy on the right, Xilo is the Black one on the left.
I said about 2 weeks ago that I would post that night, and I haven’t! SORRY!! I have been so busy its not funny! Usually I have time to post at work, but its been out of control.
Quite a bit has happened, I turned 25, and had a good night out with my family. Stephen also took me away to Canberra for the weekend, so that was nice.
I guess the most exciting thing that has happened is that we are ’shortlisted’ for another dog! The dog is another Labrador, a black one, called Xilo. He is between 13-15mths old and is fully trained, he ‘failed’ training with NSW Disability to be a disability dog only because he didnt like being on busses or in really crowded areas, realistically. neither are goingt to happen at our place. We live in a quiet street, go walking on a bike track, nowhere near roads, and he will never need to travel in busses.
We have passed 2 phone interviews, the next step is that Stephen and his mate are taking Pepper to meet Xilo tomorrow, Im NERVOUS, and am scared im going to get my hopes up. I dont know how Pepper will go having another dog in HIS yard but even if they do get along on ‘mutual ground’ tomorrow, and we get approved, we have a month trial and if they dont get along we can take Xilo back. HOPEFULLY all will go well. I have wanted another dog for awhile, I think Pepper gets bored while we are at work all day.
The other thing that has happened is that I have joined Weight Watchers. Something that I had been going to do for ages and just not got there, so I have to but my heart and soul onto it this time. I have joined so many times and just given in, so I NEED to stick to it this time.
well, busy, when I want to post but lazy when I can post. I have had a shocking day, hopefully I will post more when I get home.
My course outlines for university just came online today, so I am reading ahead to find out what Im up for this semester laying in bed, and Stephen Is i bed next to me, sound asleep talking about the people who ‘cut eyelids off’ damn he must think of some STRANGE things while he is asleep!!!!
I slept in this morning MUUUCH later than I wanted to this morning, I didn’t get out of bed till 11.10am, So I guess thats why I don’t feel like going to bed now. By the time I woke up, my father in-law was here to put the door handles on our doors.
After Stephens dad left, we were off to the shops to get a birthday present for Stephen’s cousins’ daughter, we are off to her 1st birthday tomorrow, will be interesting, for some reason I ALWAYS get stuck with his STRANGE aunt, Stephens uncle broke his leg at work, around christmas time, and a few weeks before that he had been installing lights in our house, so his aunt decides to tell Stephen that we were lucky it didn’t happen here because they would be sueing, is that REALLY something u would say? Oh and she didnt like my wedding dress, BECAUSE IT HAD PINK ON IT, ummmm ANYONE who knows me knows i’m obsessed with pink, and an all white dress is not me, besides there are some things you just dont say. If it gets too bad, ill use the ‘Oops I have to pop home, I think I left the hair straightner on’ (mental note, straighten hair tomorrow) at least its just around the corner from our place, hopefully his grandmother is there, she’s a sweetie.
Anyways we ended up coming home, and an hour later going back to the shops to do the groceries & picked up a new DVD (Definatley Maybe….Ryan Reynolds is HOT) and picked up pizza for dinner, mum and dad came over and we had pizza and wine…. YUM (too bad that pizza doesnt agree with my stomach).
Mum and Dad left, and we watched Definatley Maybe….was a good movie, not the best movie ive seen, prob 7.5/10, had me on tears at the end, and a good perve the whole way through, kept me interested, and even stephen enjoyed it.
After the movie, Stephen went to bed, I grabbed Ice Cream and put on the ULTIMATE chick flick, P.S I Love you, I had seen this once before, a dodgy DVD we picked up in Thailand on our honeymoon, and I watched it in the motel on a laptop, I had never cried so much in a movie, it was like 7 times in 70 mins I was in tears, and NOTHING changed this time round, in fact I think I cried more because I knew what was coming. I bought the book when it first came out, we were going on holidys somewhere, either cruise or SIngapore, and I didn’t finish the book, but do you think I can find it now? Im planning on hitting the shops to find it tomorrow. I Have to give this movie 10/10. Its just brilliant, but I cant watch it with anyone else around, I HATE crying in movies in front of anyone, and I think I went through half a box of Kleenex.
I probably should go to bed now, my eyes are stinging from the crying, and typing in a dark room with only the light of the laptop screen makes u tired QUICK.
If this post makes no sense Im blaming it on the wine & Blurry eyes from crying. I will let you know how the party goes…..
Alicia
YAY, Mrs computer Illiterate has FINALLY worked out how to get a PINK Blog……now THATS more me!!!!!! Thats what happens when you’re bored, its 11.47pm and hubby has been in bed for HOURS!!!!!!!
